Description of profession

All electromechanical industrial systems nowadays are based on a engineering paradigm called "feedback" - this means, that the system itself "observes" the outcome of its work and undertakes actions to correct its own output, in order to meet the specified targets. The building blocks of the feedback are called "control systems" and build the essential part of modern industrial systems. There are practically no machines, which do not use this paradigm and that do not exploit some kind of feedback. University studies covering control systems are usually "Electronic (and/or) Mechanical engineering", "Electronics", "Mechanics", etc. - all covering many other topics and not specializing in control systems. To overcome this problem and offer a better specialization in these topics, the profession "Control Systems Engineer" is developed. It will specialize only on "Control Systems" and their modern realization. Students successfully finishing the course will be able to work at any production, industrial site as a system designer, system engineer, system developer and as a maintenance worker.

Qualification and Certification

European Qualification Framework

PAC / CSE certification and training systems comply with guidelines for European Qualification Framework, aimed to assure that trainings offered all over Europe are comparable in relation to content and outcomes.

Accreditation of exam organizations, training organizations and trainers assure that the same level of service quality is assured all over Europe.

The ECQA Certified PAC / CSE is one of the many ECQA job roles, for which this certification and training schema is effective all over Europe. The ECQA is a non-profit association and provides an examination and certification system. Training is provided by several authorised bodies.

Certification as Proof of Knowledge

Course attendees can take the ECQA PAC / CSE exam that is based on clearly defined performance criteria. The exam is managed by an ECQA online test system. After successfully passing the exam, attendees receive an ECQA® PAC / CSE Certificate.

The examination subsequent to a training by an accredited training provider will be free of cost for the attendee in the trial phase of the EU project. The cost of the external certifier ECQA will be covered by the EU project with no cost for attendees.
